Liquor Stores

Liquor Stores in the Rochester are controlled by New York state liquor laws, which restrict the sale of wine and liquor to licensed Liquor Stores. Beer and certain other malt beverages are exempted and may be found in grocery stores and convenience stores. Until a couple years back, liquor stores couldn't be open on Sundays - see also Blue Laws. Another source for alcoholic beverages is buying directly from the many regional wineries and distilleries.

Perhaps they should be deleted and added to the comments section on the individual pages. Does anyone agree? —SaraChristine

I'd say you should edit it as you see fit. —RottenChester
